Here's what happened last night ... I am new to LA and have been using WAZE (which I LOVE!) for 3 months. It is indescribably invaluable to me! BUT ... last night I was to attend a private screening at the Skirball Centre - I have never been there, didn't know where it was but did have the address 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. When I entered this into WAZE on my iPhone, 4 options became available to me. One of these options said Sepulveda, Manhattan (obviously that's not the one I want, I thought ... that will be ... in Manhattan! Silly me!) The other 3 options said CA and LA but didn't display the zip code on the phone so I selected the top one presuming that it would be where I wanted to go as that has invariably been the case throughout the 3 months of perpetual usage whilst in LA . It was therefore, only when I got to 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd - MANHATTAN BEACH!!! - that I realised I was not only in the wrong place but as far away from where I needed to be at the Skirball Centre as I could be! I spent 2 and a half hours in horrible traffic and missed the screening to my great disappointment! SOOO ... here is my pro-active suggestion from last night's debacle ... IF a User submits an ADDRESS (and not the name of the place) that is linked to a famous landmark/place of interest/building/museum/theatre ... would it be possible to have a selectable option that actually displays the NAME of the place? That would ensure that what happened to me last night would not have happened - specially as we have the anomaly of there being TWO 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvds in LA! Something common to a lot of cities! I know it is a massive task but it would raise WAZE's superb facilities even higher. I realise now that - had I put Skirball Centre into my Search - the correct address would have been immediately available for me to select. But for people who don't realise this (as I didn't last night!) and who put in the address of where they're going, it would have been a terrific facility to see Skirball Centre come up as a choice - specially when there are multiple options of the address in the same city. Hope this is of help to you! I am about to return to the UK and will continue to use and spread the word to all and sundry of this wonderful Ap - it is without doubt the best of its kind! So thank you for it!
